The Steph Show, which is due to air in Spring 2020, will see the journalist and TV presenter meet a variety of guests and discuss the latest news, consumer affairs and light-hearted features.

The 37-year-old, who is from Middlesbrough, will also be joined by a different co-presenter each week on the show, which will be filmed in front of a live studio audience at Channel 4's new national headquarters in Leeds.

She is leaving BBC Breakfast after eight years to present the new daily show.

Steph McGovern said: “I’m really chuffed to be creating my own live show with Channel 4 in Leeds.

"It’s going to be nerve-wracking, but there’s nothing I love more than finding out what makes people tick, whether it’s a famous face or someone we haven’t met yet who has a cracking story to tell.

"This is a dream come true for me and I can’t wait to get started next year. Just a small matter of having a baby first.”
